HUGGIN'S LOOKOUT

This lookout overlooks Bright from the south, and is reached from unsealed Baker's Gully Rd, about 3 km, starting at the end of Cobden St.
An observation platform offers magnificent views across the town to Apex Hill and Mt Porepunkah, and east towards Harrietville.
 
An alternative route is up Huggin's Rd from the east end of the town, off Coronation Drive. A walking track goes direct to the Lookout, starting at the end of Deacon Avenue.
